We've been here before
Saga · Worlds Apart Revisited [2007]
Someone took me by my hand
Led me through an open door
And told me you're just what I'm looking for
I try so hard to understand why
You can't, you seem so real
'Cause I know better
Than to think I must dreaming
You know I see it in your eyes
But if it's just imagination
Why do I get this feeling?
We've been here before
I turned around
And shook my head and danced
Was it just a fantasy?
Well are you more than just a memory?
Something's familiar every time
Somehow it's never quite the same
It feels like I'm playing someone else's game
You know I see it in your eyes
But if it's just imagination
Why do I get this feeling?
We've been here before
I must have tried a thousand times
And yet you still refuse to listen
Still I get this feeling
We've been here before
Led me through an open door
And told me you're just what I'm looking for
I try so hard to understand why
You can't, you seem so real
'Cause I know better
Than to think I must dreaming
You know I see it in your eyes
But if it's just imagination
Why do I get this feeling?
We've been here before
I turned around
And shook my head and danced
Was it just a fantasy?
Well are you more than just a memory?
Something's familiar every time
Somehow it's never quite the same
It feels like I'm playing someone else's game
You know I see it in your eyes
But if it's just imagination
Why do I get this feeling?
We've been here before
I must have tried a thousand times
And yet you still refuse to listen
Still I get this feeling
We've been here before
We've been here before
